San Jose Earthquakes Video: Watch Earthquake Goalie Score Crazy Full-Pitch Goal |
MLS News | |||||

There's a San Jose Earthquakes video making its way across the sports world today, after goalie David Bingham scored one of the wildest goals ever seen on a football pitch. Yes, you read that right; the Earthquakes' goalie scored a goal in a friendly match against English club West Bromwich Albion on Monday. The keeper snared a rogue through pass from West Brom early in the contest, and hunted for a potential outlet up the pitch from his box. But, try as he might, he simply couldn't find an open man to hit his clear to, so he simply dropped the ball on the turf and let fly a massive kick. It was a bit powerful, to be sure, but nothing out of the ordinary—at least at first. Plenty of keepers have that kind of power when they have time to deliver the ball, and Bingham's kick soared downfield, well ahead of even the West Brom defenders. Unfortunately for the Baggies, it caught their occasionally scatterbrained goalkeeper, Boaz Myhill, napping on the job, and the ball bounced well out of his reach and into the net, sending the stands into hysterics over the wild shot. The best part about the goal? Bingham had no idea he'd scored it. He'd overshot his intended target, forward Scott Sealy by a good 20 yards, and had turned around in disgust with himself when he heard the crowd roar. He turned just in time to be mobbed by his delirious teammates, as they celebrated what is without a doubt one of the craziest goals in recent memory. On top of that, the goal proved incredibly valuable to the Quakes, who wound up beating West Brom 2-1, while Bingham made three solid saves to preserve the victory, along with scoring a goal likely to go down in history as one of the wildest ever scored in a match.
